Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii T0ny!!! I dropped out of the pre-order for reasons I won't rehash again here. Now, like a typical female, I'm ready to buy again. You know me, I more than likely will get one- just not sure when.

Most people are getting their's within a week of ordering now. VS has a shop in Barnegat which is probably closer to you than it is to me. They have them in stock (got a call this afternoon).
Hey scandel!
Like i said; Maybe i got lucky, out of 4 the one was screwy and the replacement has been seemless. I spoke to hyperian, protovapor and Vaporshark and all three co. Told me the same thing. - some production issue at evolv with the ribbon than connects the oled to the chip. They said it was restricted to the first run only and those are supposed to be cycled through. So they are expecting the future products to nor have that issue. You know me; i wouldn't believe that poppycock without proof; only it came from all three companies so i dunno.
Got my VS on Tue.
Ordered on the 12th (I don't think this was a first run board)
Everything was working great, till today.
Now it won't stay in TP mode.
Keeps jumping back and forth.
I've read about this problem, somewhere.
Will try another build.
Looks like this one will be going back on Mon.
You would think if manufactures knew bad boards went out, they would do a recall?

It's healthy to be skeptical
Actually it was a defective "PCB" which caused the glitch screen issues but lower level employees may not know this. What you want to ask and require is a Rev 3 board. Specifically! This rev3 fixes the wonky/glitch screen and is the latest and greatest. No need to believe an older guy like me. /lol Ask Evolv directly. You can even tell them the Senior dude sent you. /joking

Upgrade to the '40 chip. It has reverse battery protection and thus is safe from you tender ministrations while installing batteries. It Should give a much better vape than an istick. You don't have to use the temperature protection/nickle wire. $ is a great deal for an rDNA40 even without wireless charging.
Were you on that VS store's waiting list? They called me today too, I was on their list, hopefully they still have it tomorrow when I head down there because its 1.5 hours from me.

Is the Rev. # printed on the board? If not, what does one look for when looking at the board to know if it's a Rev 3? Have there been any similar problems reported with the Rev. 3 boards, or are they purported to be glitch-free, as far as anyone is currently aware?
Can you call before you leave, tell them you have a two-hour trip to get there, and can they hold one for you for just two hours? I think most places would likely do that in the name of good customer service.

generally jumping in and out of tp to voltage mode is a connection issue and not a bad board but maybe yours is different
Question for those of you still building with kanthal in your rDNA40 - does the resistance still make minor fluctuations? I switched my Russian 2.0 build from nickel to kanthal and I noticed that it seems to jump around slightly between 1.30 and 1.36 ohms; is this a sign that the coil is shorting somewhere, or is that normal? I haven't used a DNA device before, figured that it wouldn't fire if there was a short.
No this one is a bad board.
The only way I can get it to "stay" in TP mode, is put the watts up to 40.
Then when I fire it, the temp shows it going into an endless loop 0 thru 180 degrees
If you keep firing it it never gives TP warning, just fries the wick and juice.
It was working great for awhile.
Will call VS this am.

Looks nice strike, what is that atti ?
I've seen that before and I made a new coil and checked my positive post and it solved the issue... Also really tighten the atty onto the mod tight

You'd think with all the problems they are having they would check the units before sending them out.
It's really hard to tell if the screen is glitchy... I've had one act up 2-5 days later
